Novaia 2010 Corte Vaona (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

Country: Italy / Corte Vaona
Variety: Red Blend Veneto
Winery: Novaia / Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

Intense fragrances suggest blue flower, leather, truffle, ripe black fruit and spice. The savory palate delivers layers of sweet black cherry, crushed plum, black pepper, mocha and baking spices alongside firm, velvety tannins and fresh acidty. It’s already accessible but will develop more complexity. Drink 2015–2025. North Berkeley Imports, Glazer’s.
